Yeah i guess it would have to be an
Xr2 or mk1 orion cvh, or ml3 escort i guess!! Also, is everyone gonna
Be on the ft stand at fitp??

[jonyb4]

a 1400 wouldnt be a bad enigne mind, im excited about mine, okay the carb ones are 70cowpower not the 75 the efi is but still, its not bad, and with a decent exhaust and four branch, and a tidy filter, you can get around 80 from them

[jonyb4]

also 1600s in the mk3 and mk4 escort, xr3 used them

i'm on the si stand. or carb a 1600 dhc zetec?

[jonyb4]

would need megasquirt for that, for that money you might as well go for a 1.8/2.0 and get decent power at the same time

[Gus!!]

Yeah i will be on a budget so cvh might be the way to go. I didnt mention xr3 or 1.6s because they are rare as f**k and i'll never find one

[Gus!!]

Might be able to get hold of some alleycats for £80, they are 6j on the front and 6.5 on the back and they have tyres. They are black and the 'zig zag' bit is polished.
Thoughts??

[jonyb4]

yes!

suit a mk2 more but look very cool on mk3s too

[Gus!!]

I agree, but then again most things look better on a mk2!!

[jonyb4]

[Michael!]

100% buy them at that price, then courier them to me

[Gus!!]

Hahahhaha. No.

[Gus!!]

Seeing as i didnt get paid enough to buy the alleycats, i have been thinking about polishing the pots for a while, what would everyone use, just a polishing wheel on a grinder etc?? Or is there a better way?? Bearing in mind they are currently painted silver!

[jonyb4]

use a mouse to take trhe paint off, will make light work of it, then its elbow grease from there on out!

work thought grades of sandpaper wettign and drying it, once its practicly smooth as can be, polish the metal using metal polishes like autosol!

you could then laquer them to keep them fresh with little maintenance, but it may peel after time

[andymac]

If you polish alloy wheels they will oxidise over time. Realistically the best bet is a wax or other sealer once they're polished up to try stave this off.

[Gus!!]

Yeah my old man has a proper polishing wheel and stuff which brings things up nice but takes ages, the re-corrosion is the thing that annoys me!! i might give it a go at some point, cheaper than powder coat!!

[jonyb4]

i like them as they are

[Gus!!]

They need sorting though one is really stained and darker, and the spare?? f**k me dont get me started on the spare!!

[jonyb4]

least yours have paint... mines are bare metal, and not the good looking
kind lol, but should be painted by end of the week :d

[Gus!!]

But look at the bloody spare!!

Wht colour you painting yours?? Silver?? I do like the pots, they lool better than skinny steels

[jonyb4]

haa awesome, STICK IT ON


mine are going silver, actually a bit bored of the black on the Si wheels lol
mine have been most the colours under the sun lol, took alot of effort to sand them down, but hey ho they were only £30

[Gus!!]

Might whip them off next week and start cleaning them!! Going to a meet this sunday so i want them on there for that

[Gus!!]

Lol. A 1963 plymouth is pretty long compared to the fez!!

[jonyb4]

I love this car

[Gus!!]

Me too!!

[Michael!]

im currently polishing up my tsw omegas (the blue ones!) ive gone from grade to grade, wet and dry and im about to be on the polish bit!

they look good, my old pots had a polished lip and it looked sick!

[Gus!!]

Went to a meet yesterday, somebody got quite a few decent pics of te fez!!






And mike, me and my friend were dicussing this yesterday and we decided i should also go for the polished lip!!

[jonyb4]

seen on fb, love it

[Michael!]

good shout mate! would look sick i reckon! what colour are you doing the centres?

[Gus!!]

They will be black mate, i might polish them all, but paint the holes black.??

[jonyb4]

you should find some capri laser wheels, paint them black and polish the high points

[Gus!!]

The 4 spoke ones?? Yes i love them!! how wide are they though?? And y the angry face??

[jonyb4]

not a fan of polished/lack peppers


the capri ones are 6j, low offset will make them sit on the arch, not sure what they would be like without a XR kit


id suggest you get Si front spats

[Gus!!]

Trouble is they only look good diamond cut?? Aint my pots 5.5j?? I always forget

[jonyb4]

6j

personally i think theyre best standard silver

what only looks good cut?
